My 2024 Reading Summary

Wow. The year has flown by and I am struggling to remember what’s happened over the last twelve months. All I know is that is has been a wild ride. From PhD application to Spooktober daily posts, 2024 has been a busy year but it has been so incredibly fun and rewarding too. I want…

The End of Year Reading Crunch

As the end of the year nears and we enter December, one thing I know will be the talk of bookish social media is the reading goals set at the beginning of 2024. At this stage though, it’s more likely the talk of binge reading to try and get the numbers up and prove that…

My Physical TBR List for the rest of 2024

I mentioned at the beginning of the year that I had a lot of books on my bookshelf that I hadn’t read yet or wanted to reread, and I donned these as my physical TBR. Six months later, what progress have I made? Pile 1: The Rereads I have made a dent in this pile…

My Mid-Year Reading Review

Half the year has flown by since I published my reading goals for 2024 post. I have a loose idea of the numbers, though I don’t go into any fancy percentages with genres or tropes, so let’s see where I’m at. Books read so far: 20 Most read month: June What genres have I read:…

What I’ve Learnt in My Year of Book Blogging

I’ve been writing bookish things on this blog for over a year. Honestly, time flies and it feels like it was only last week that I was posting every day of October (something I will talk about later because wow that wasn’t such a good idea). With a year’s knowledge comes a year’s load of…

Magical Bookstore Vibes In Hwang Boreum’s Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

I was going to wait, but my current read is Hwang Boreum’s Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop and it has blown me away within the first 50 pages. If you want to get a new perspective in life, want to see how others tackle existential questions about life, or you simply want to live your…

My April 2024 Reading Summary

Overall Mood: preoccupied. With a lot of house stuff happening this month and a few out of house things too I haven’t had the peaceful space to read. It’s not that tragic though because my reading bug was feeling a little sleepy still and I didn’t want to force myself to get a few more…

The Pressure and Subsequent Burnout of Bookstagram

Continuing from last week’s discussion post, let’s dive into the pressures of up-keeping a bookish social media account, specifically a Bookstagram account. I don’t have experience with a BookTok (and I will not be getting one anytime soon) but I will be mentioning booktoks as a part of the pressures of maintaining your brand and…

Bookstagram – A Blessing or A Curse?

Bookstagram, the bookish side of Instagram, has been around for a long time. With reading online spaces like AO3, fanfiction.net for example, and the Millennial Gen-Z social media sphere of X (Twitter), Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook and Youtube, it wasn’t a surprise that when Instagram came around the book community would flock to the platform. Nowadays,…

Have Libraries Gone Out of Fashion?

In a time of hyper consumerism, you would think that utilising libraries as a means of free reading would be taken up by more readers. After all, the number of books being published in a month is increasing well above the average reading speed of many and the financial strain these book hauls have can…
